For example, copy style 1 to style 6 by copying "\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\Autodesk\Acade {version}\libs\{library}\hp1*.dwg" to
"\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Autodesk\Acade
{version}\libs\{library}\hp6*.dwg" (or, if you are using Windows Vista or
Windows 7, copy "\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Acade
{version}\libs\{library}\hp1*.dwg" to
"\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Acade
{version}\libs\{library}\hp6*.dwg"). Open the hp6*.dwg drawing files in
AutoCAD and modify as required. To access your new style, select "6" in the
style sub dialog box when you prepare to select and insert a new PLC module.
Add a new PLC style
The icon menu graphics that display for the various PLC styles are bitmap
files saved to your \Program Files [(x86)]\Autodesk\Acade {version}\Acade\
folder where AutoCAD Electrical's Insert PLC and Drawing Properties tools
can access them.
1 Create the style in AutoCAD.
2 Zoom in to the new PLC style.
3 Save the file as a bitmap using the following name definition:
■ For the Drawing Properties dialog box: the graphic must have the
name P_STYLExH.bmp or P_STYLExV.bmp where 'x' is the PLC style
number (1-9) and H or V indicate the module orientation (horizontal
or vertical)
■ For the Insert PLC dialog box: the file name must be STYLExH.bmp
or STYLExV.bmp where 'x' is the PLC style number (1-9) and H or V
indicate the module orientation (horizontal or vertical)
NOTE If the resulting bitmap is too small or off-center, open the source
drawing in AutoCAD again. Resize your AutoCAD graphics window so that
it is more square. Center the image and resave. Repeat until you are satisfied
with the result.
